LA FAMILIA LORENZO, MEXICO Innovation inspiration

For La Familia Lorenzo, a retablo-making family from Guerrero, experimenting with new materials and imagery is simply part of their creative approach. Their patriarch, Lucas, stopped painting on amate bark, a medium that is commonly identified with the area, so that he could create larger figures of saints, devils, animals and more on Masonite. Lucas' sons and grandsons have followed suit, combining customary imagery such as jaguar dancers with wonderfully witty and pop culture subjects.
